Caterpillar

Caterpillar is a powerful and thought-provoking film that explores the darker side of human nature and the consequences of war. The story follows a decorated Japanese soldier who returns home from the Second Sino-Japanese War as a broken man, both physically and emotionally. Despite his horrific injuries and lack of empathy, his wife is expected to care for him and honor the Emperor. As the film progresses, the soldier's memories of his brutal actions during the war begin to haunt him, leading to a tragic and devastating conclusion. Through its raw and unflinching portrayal of the effects of war on both individuals and society, Caterpillar offers a scathing critique of Japanese militarism and the dehumanizing effects of violence.
